Did we run that unbalanced formation last year?

I thought when we ran trips last year, we had the A-back and the recievers bunched together.

Saturday, the A-back on the trips side was in his usual spot. The recievers were spread out. It seemed to help both running and passing.
 
I don't recall us having anyone bunched together last year. Got a pic?

Sometimes we'd run trips to the short side of the field, and there wasn't that much space to spread them out in.

Maybe the crack is affecting my memory. I swore when we ran trips, we bunched the three pretty tight.
 
I couldn't find a bunched trips formation. The trips we ran against uga was a little more bunched, but it was becasue it was to the short side of the field. The A-back was in his usual spot.

WracerX,
memory fuzzier by the day
 
I think I remember that formation. It was reminiscent of the Wing T, except the extra back was moved out wide.
 
Just now getting around to watching the replay. I listened to the game on XM this weekend while out in the Gulf of Mexico.

We're running some weird variations on the base triple option play in the first quarter - stuff I haven't seen us run before. There's an A back counter option play that's weird, and there's some other strange stuff going on with our pitches and QB keeps where we're using who would normally be the pitch guy in blocking.

I also agree with BOR's earlier observations that Allen seems to be kinda goofy with his pitch relationship, he often seems too close to Nesbitt.

We ran the play play where the A-back blocks instead of being the pitch man a number of times last year, especially in short yardage situations. We hit a big play on it against Miami when Nesbitt had his long run. The A-back counter option I don't remember running much last year but it seems to get used when Dwyer is out and we want to run the counter option. It gives us more of a playmaker on the pitch as opposed to Cox, Lyons, or Watson. Just my observations.
 
You people are all wrong. Paul Johnson only calls three plays: the dive up the middle, the triple option one where we pitch it, and the one where the quarterback pretends he's gonna pitch and then throws it. Don't you read comments from other boards?
